Maudie needs to convert this scale drawing from a scale factor of 1 box=6 inches to a scale factor of 1?box=12 inches. The length in the scale drawing shown is 10 boxes. What will be the length of the boxes in the new drawing

1 answer

The current length in the scale drawing is 10 boxes.

To convert the scale factor from 1 box = 6 inches to 1 box = 12 inches, we need to multiply the length by the scale factor ratio:

(12 inches)/(6 inches) = 2

So, the length of the boxes in the new drawing will be:

10 boxes * 2 = <<10*2=20>>20 boxes. Answer: \boxed{20}.
